I got a set of belltech sway bars. The pic for the rear in the instructions doesn't look like the bar that they sent me. Does anyone have a pic of the rear sway bar installed so that I can see what it looks like before I try to put it on? Please share any other information that you think might be helpful.

TIA,

Do sway bars help stop/reduce body roll?

 

yeah. I got the front one installed today, along with DJM control arms, and new KYB shocks. I had factory shocks (183k miles on them) and the torsion bars cranked down about 2.5" with a factory sway bar. Let me put it this way, the truck feels about 15 years younger. It's glorious. And I'm sitting on about a 4" drop in the front... I've got to cut the inner fenders out to stop this nasty rubbing. In any case, anyone have a pic of that rear sway bar?

 

the rear sway bar doesn't fit. check out my thread

I hate belltech

 

It doesn't fit at all? Or, does it just not fit with Belltech's shocks?

that's cool man. But, I need a pic of the belltech rear sway bar for installation purposes. I've already bought the belltech one. So, unless it can't be installed at all, it's not going back... Does anyone have a pic of the belltech rear bar installed?

 

Why dont you just try to test fit it to see if every thing lines up with the bar you have. That would be the easy way?

 

Go to Beltechs site & look for installation tech support & call them @ the same time!

 

belltech bar is supposed to fit in the same location, but it doesnt fit.
If you have some fabrication skills you could make some brackets to make it fit... or buy the addco.

 

How do these mount to the frame. I know on the Taco's the Hellwig bar comes with horrible frame clamps, and I started offering bolt on brackets to get rid of those nasty things...offset to the right also to stop the rubbing on the left shock.(Taco stuff though)

 

their site gave me the same information they sent me in the mail... I was hoping to opt out of calling them. I haven't had many good experiences with tech support lines in the past. I was hoping to just get a picture to go off of, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. I guess I will just have to try and hook it up to see what happens. The angle on the bar mounts (to the frame) will change if I lower it anymore. I will probably need to lower it the rest of the way before I install the rear bar... First, I have to cut/weld all the crossmembers so the back can drop the rest of the way down.
